You already know who Cerebus is, or else you wouldn't be here right? Well, even if you're aren't too sure what or who Cerebus is, you've found the right place for Cerebus resources! You come in search for information on Cerebus that you lack -- why else search the web? I can understand -- the story is over 6,000 pages and 300 issues (plus specials) long. That is a lot of information!

Well, I'm a Cerebus fan(girl) myself and got P.O.ed up having to jump from site to site in search of that hard to find tidbit that I was looking for only to find that the link doesn't work. Here I give you the many Cerebus sites on the web that I've found. I have them broken down into categories to ease your search. The number in () is how many sites I've listed in that cateogry.
